BANGKOK - Two Thai Air Force F-16 fighter planes taking part in a joint military exercise with the U.S. have crashed in northeastern Thailand. The pilots safely ejected from their jets.
Air Vice Marshal Montol Suchookorn says an investigation team has been sent to the scene of Monday morning's crash in Chaiyaphum province. The area is about 220 miles (350 kilometres) northeast of Bangkok.
He said he was unable to confirm reports the jets had collided.
The planes were taking part in Exercise Cobra Gold, an annual joint Thai-US military exercise in which personnel from Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, South Korea are also taking part.

Well.well..well, that 2 F-16s less for Thailand military to flex its wings about. Fucking show off. Too bad those birds weren't shot down by Cambodian military SAMs. That's about $75 millions go down in flames.

The point is, two of Thailand freak'n F-16 crashed. Who cares if there isn't any images of two exploding F-16 caught on picture or video. Damn procrastinators. This image was from a passengers plane crashed in a stormy day in Phuket several years ago. A lot of lives lost on that day.
